LG.Philips develops Cybertube+ SuperSlim CRTs

Posted : 10 Sep 2003


LG.Philips Displays, the Hong Kong-based joint venture between the cathode ray tube (CRT) businesses of LG Electronics and Royal Philips Electronics, has developed a family of Cybertube+ SuperSlim television CRTs.


The designs have a depth of 35cm (13.7") front to back, allowing manufacturers to produce mainstream and high-end TV sets that appear little deeper than plasma or LCD units, yet benefit from the far higher picture quality and price and performance ratio of CRTs.


Estimated prices are expected to be at least 50 percent less than competing technologies.

I wonder how long before these make it to production. I'm getting really tired of waiting (and waiting... and waiting...) on technology changes. Even though these may be slim, I imagine they'll still weigh a brickload.

Not much sense of telling us the depth of the TV without mentioning what display size it applies too.

Heck I used to have a little b+w portable job that was only 5 " deep ( 6" diagonal tube)

Lol, very true!


It would be great if they actually made a display size larger than 36 inches. If I could get a 50-60inch 16:9 CRT that is only 15-20 inches deep and weighs less than a ton id buy it in a heartbeat, even if it costs as much as LCD/DLP.


Then again so would alot of people

" be launched is the company's prototype Cybertube+SuperSlim 32" widescreen CPT that boasts of a 30 percent depth reduction. It measures only 35 cms from front to back and features a glass envelope that has a significantly shallower profile. LG.Philips Displays, the world's No. 1 cathode ray tube (CRT) display provider, will also present the new SuperSlim 21" Real Flat with the same depth of 35 cm as the 32" prototype. The new Cybertube+SuperSlim products make for an easy design-in process, as they are compatible with standard chassis electronics."

Screen should at least be over 40" to be considered a competition for RPTV's. Nonetheless, its still good to hear they are still working on CRT technology.
